TOPIC: Newbie question about Kratom resin

I have finally decided to do something about my opiate problem. I have decided to detox using Kratom to which end I have acquired a half kilo block of kratom resin.

Can anyone suggest the sort of dose I should be taking to stop withdrawal symptoms without getting high.

On a practical level how do I convert this 500 gram rock hard block into usable doses. I thought of heating it to soften it but someone told me heating Kratom ruins its effectiveness. What do other kratom resin users do?

I really don't personally use resin or extracts.
Just plain powder.
This is what I found for you.
Sure there are different types of resins out there but the most common resin being sold today is with the familiar Kratom Resin Pie. It is believed to be all from the same source and therefore of identical quality from one vendor to the next. These are actually made from Bali Premium commercial leaves but are much more potent than Premium Commercial grade because the resin is a lot more concentrated. Many report Kratom Resin Pies to be as strong at equal doses as Kratom 15x Standardized Extract but for the purposes of giving the 15x the respect it deserves, we gave the resin a slightly lower potency rating of 7.5.

- Recommended minimum dose – 1.5 Grams, preferred 2-4 Grams. If you don’t know, start slow, you should begin to feel the effects after 20 minutes. If you don’t feel much after the first hour, take some more.

- Best Methods of Kratom Resin consumption include the following. With this particular product there have been no reports to our knowledge that one method provides better results than another so the below list is not necessarily in order of most effective, they are all believed to be equally effective so take your pick.

Before you can begin with the following methods of consumption you will most likely have to soften the pie by heating it up. Microwave (about 10 seconds), steam, toaster oven, hair dryer, what ever else you can think of. This will enable you to cut it with a knife or break off pieces with your hands.

1. Kratom Resin Suckers – Break off around 1.5 Grams and suck on it until it completely dissolves in your mouth. Some reported a licorice taste and actually called it tasty. One of the benefits to this method is fast absorption into the blood stream through the lingual glands, placing it under your tongue makes this work even better. If you’re not crazy about the taste then just swallow it instead. It may take a little longer for you to feel the effects but most reported the same end result.

2. Kratom Resin Tea – Break off around 1.5 Grams and heat up a coffee cup full of any consumable liquid, this will most likely have to be extremely hot in order to dissolve the resin.

3. Kratom Resin Capsules – You might ask how I would get resin into a capsule, and why I would even want to. What you do with it is totally up to you, but I have seen people powderize the resin and then stuff capsules with the powder. To powderize the resin you have to first heat the pie, roll the resin it to coffee bean sized balls, cool them down, and then put them in a coffee grinder. Walla, Kratom resin powder.

Hi thank you for giving such a very full answer - the tip on using the microwave to soften my resin is particularly appreciated - because my resin isn't in the form of the "pies"you describe its just a big half kilo lump. It might be relevant to mention that I am from the UK - this bulk resin approach might be be a peculiarity of British Kratom suppliers.

Anyway thanks for all the information. I guess its time for me to bite the bullet and start my detox.

Hello KollyKibber Welcome to the Forum. Excellent Advice from C.O.B. Congrats on taking control of your life with your Opiate Problem. I know exactly what all that is about. I was addicted to anything I could get my hands on for several years & then I found my LifeSaver Kratom. I've never used a Resin. I always just use Plain Leaf Kratom Powder. I try to stay away from any Extracts or Enhanced Kratom because of Tolerance Issues. Good Luck In Your Recovery. Best Wishes!

If anybody has any Questions about Kratom please private message me or make a Post & I will be glad to answer as soon as I can usually within 24 hours if not sooner. I'm usually on really late at night Between Midnight & 5am.

Good source of info C.O.B.. I tried some 15x resin extract when I first started, I melted it into my black tea/Yerba matte.. It had a strange taste but wasn't horrible. I could never really get good effects from it though. Plain leaf is the way to go. But it sounds like you have quite a bit of resin. Try the methods C.O.B mentioned.

I'm with you on that cybin, Plain Leaf Powder is the Best Form Of Kratom in my opinion but everybody has there preferences.

Thanks for the guidance on the effectiveness of different Kratom preparations. In addition to my half kilo of resin I also have a quarter kilo of powdered Borneo red vein kratom and 100grams of 15X Extract powder - and for good measure I have 240 Malay Maeng Da Capsules.

So I can try out the different types of Kratom presentation. The reason for this buying spree is that here in the UK a new law , the "Psychoactive Substances Bill" will be enacted on 26th May banning the sale of all psychoactive substances which includes Kratom.

The only good thing about it is that all the UK Kratom suppliers are having Closing Down sales so there are bargains to be had.

So far I have found that the pills aren't very effective, the powder works best but the resin is easier to take because you have to take eat less of it and it doesn't taste as bitter as the powder. I havent tried the 15X extract yet.

As for my detox I had a bit of lapse yesterday day when I found a strip of Dihydrocodeine pills in my other jacket pocket (my addiction is pain killers). But now have no pills left - so back on the detox saddle today.

Sometimes Relapse is just part of Recovery. We all Relapse don't feel bad KollyKibber. That's a real shame they are banning substances like Kratom in the UK. Just doesn't make any sense to me. Would I rather see people taking Kratom or Illegal Drugs on the Street. HMM! One Kills & the other one Saves Lives from addictions. They are both Illegal now. I just can't see Kratom being compared to any other addictive substances. Why ban it Why? it has saved so many people from addiction.

If anybody has any Questions about Kratom please private message me or make a Post & I will be glad to answer as soon as I can usually within 24 hours if not sooner. I'm usually on really late at night Between Midnight & 5am.
